My DIY Skirt

Some of you might remember that I bought a sewing machine last year and talked about my first steps in the world of sewing on my blog before. I also made a pin cushion DIY tutorial… and then, nothing new about my sewing. I bought some pretty fabrics, but cutting them and tackling larger projects scared me a little…
But a little while ago, inspiration struck and I made my first piece of clothing on one weekend: a skirt. I used this tutorial by Laura and a video to learn how to sew in pockets. It’s not perfect: some lines are wonky, I can only fit in three fingers in each of the pockets and it’s shorter in the back than in the front – but I love my DIY skirt! That doesn’t really come as a surprise since I fell in love with the polkadots and colour of the fabric.
I’m wearing my new favourite skirt with a simple white shirt (this blouse* would also look great), a heart-shaped bag and a belt as well a black peeptoes, which look really pretty but unfortunately hurt my feet after a short time.
